Who are the Cardassians? What drives them? Do they have dreams? Are they all brutal conquerors? Or perhaps there are dreamers among them, too?

The stories belong to my Shaping a Cardassian universe. The shows' canon is sacred, but what happens after the finale of Deep Space Nine is my own continuation. There are some elements borrowed from Treklit, but for the most part post-Dominion War timeline is my own.

In the spirit of fun and adventure I humbly extend a challenge to the many fine writers of Ad Astra: Write a story that is within the universe of Unsung Heroes. It’s a round robin event organized as an open series meaning that you can post your own stories to the series, the various stories adding together like the chapters of a book. Prequel, sequel, TNG mirror universe – the galaxy’s the limit!

The instructions are simple. Read Star Trek HQ first and then come up with your own story that plays within the same ‘virtual sandbox’. Some good ideas for additional stories might be: ‘What did Amy do next?’, or, ‘What happened to Doctor Dunmore when he returned to Starfleet Command?’

And what of our new enemy? Although little is known about him, his powers of creation and destruction are very real. Originating from an entirely new faction of the Borg, it appears that the collective has changed its views on the importance and role of the individual. Can this Borg Homunculus – this drone that is not a drone – spawn entire new cubes faster than Starfleet can scream retreat?

If you send an email to [email protected] and request The Unsung Heroes Technical Guide I’ll send you some important information on how the technology that tried to save Commander Worf worked. Your story does not need to use any of this technology – it’s available merely as technical backstory that you might find useful.

Summary: Responding to rumour and ancient myths of a powerful civilisation during their expansion into the Beta Quadrant, a Federation archaeological team embarks on a quest to uncover the truth - in the form of an ancient, long-abandoned city, the last remnants of a glorious but brutal empire.

This series delves deeply into the personal lives of Original Series characters, sometimes veering from Trek canon, particularly in later stories. Spock and his family are heavily featured--birth family, but mainly the family of his own making. Since it is an ongoing saga that spans many years, I strongly suggest reading the stories in proper order. (Image from flavorwire.com RCA Victor vintage TV ad)

Star Trek: Full Speed Ahead is a short story series centering around the Nebula-class multimission heavy cruiser USS Farragut and the members of her crew. Led by their commanding officer, Captain Krystine Leone, Farragut's ability to take on many types of missions result in a myriad of different adventures, from courier duty to border patrol and everything in between.
